Reddit mentions of Chessex Opaque 12mm d6 White w/Black Dice Block 36 Dice

Smallish notepad, pen. Make a T chart. You (your team) on one side, opponent (their team) on the other. Start at 20 life (teams for 2hg start at 30).each time something happens to a life total, cross out the old one and write the new one.

You'll also wanna invest in some of these. Any LGS worth calling an LGS should have some.

For dice rolls that matter, I use GameScience dice. For counters, I have a block of mini Chessex d6's. For life totals, pen and paper.

1. Watch your back
   
   
2. Shoot straight
   
   
3. Conserve ammo
   
   
4. Never, ever make a deal with a dragon
   
   
5. Geek. The. Mage.
   
   
6. Johnson. Will. Betray. You.
   
   
7. For dice, I used these or some equivalent. I didn't run into any dice supply issues.
   
   
8. As stated by u/Delnar_Ersike playing Shadowrun Returns or Shadowrun: Hong Kong, as these games were developed by the folks who designed the original Shadowrun game. This will give you a good feel for the world, as well as different directions you can go with your characters.
   
   
9. As a first time player, if you have other more experienced players I'd let them handle rigging, magic, and hacking, however of the three I feel that magic is the simplest, mechanically. In game it is very expensive to be a mage so keep that in mind.
   
   
10. I would recommend as a player and definitely as a GM, learn the lore, as always you can rule 0 anything you want, but having a good baseline for the setting is very helpful.

Most players tend to use something similar to these:

The block has 36 dice, which is a good amount. they're fairly easy to read and place on the cards.

Just use tiny dice.

I use two chessex minidice boxes in different colors to keep track. Which I generally use one color to track untapped/can attack, the other color to say which have summoning sickness and the like.


But depending on the deck multiple tokens might be necessary, especially if Cathars’ Crusade is involved.

If you don't mind having mini D6, you can get a dice block for under $10. That's enough for a 6 player game if you're really budget concious. Also, the plastic container makes the game really portable. Pair it with some stackable paper cups, and you can have Liar's Dice anywhere you want!

If you want straight value, here are two items that could be fun for only $27:

• Blokus - This is a game that you can learn in about 2 minutes but can play endlessly due to the complexity and strategy that plays into each game. (Minute to learn, lifetime to master...etc). This can be played with 2-4 (best with 4) and games normally last 20-30 minutes.
  
  
• Regular dice for Liar's Dice - I love Liar's dice and most of my friends really enjoy it as well. You could probably find dice somewhere else for cheap (I found packs of 10 reject dice at a dollar store and bought 5 so I have 50 dice for 5 bucks...) but I just threw out an option for you. The game is easy enough to learn but challenging and can be played with 2+ people. All you need are cups and some dice. Games can be really fast but normally last 15 or so minutes.
  
  
  
  
  But if you are looking for something different, I would suggest going onto Amazon and looking up their "Warehouse Deals" and try to get lucky with a used or slightly damaged game for cheaper than normal. I've been lucky a few times on there and found expensive games for lower prices.
  
  Good luck!
  

Dragonshields, matte black with perfect fit sleeves (that load from the top). Load card into sleeve upside down, then put into Dragonshield right-side up.

Then, Ultimate Guard Sidewinder 80+. Five of these fit perfectly into the Ultimate Guard Superhive 550+.

Chessex dice are great for the dice tray. Now, the dice tray in the Superhive is a little awkward, and dice fall out easily or it jams sometimes while trying to pull it out or put it back. So I use a spice bag to hold the dice (also helps make sure they don't just fall everywhere when pulling the tray out, etc.)

And, of course, my two favorite playmats fit in the Superhive as well.
